Yeah, legally I'm supposed to buy a fishing license to fish in my back yard! Add that to the relatively long list of stupid laws in this state which I ignore!!!
Good for you!
BTW does New York still not allow the sale of largemouth bass for consumption regardless if they are raised domestically in indoor tanks? I once asked a biologist with your state why that is and his response was they were concerned someone could sell wild caught fish and they wouldn't be able to tell the difference. That's sad because just about everyone on this site can tell the difference between a pellet fed bass and a wild bass. And if there's any doubt all you need to do is open them up and see the visceral fatty tissue in a pellet fed bass.
I also believe you can catch some panfish out of public waters and resell them as long as there is no bag limit? Is that still the case?
